Nobody watching porn is harmed by the producer of it.
I'm against background checks on porn producers.

It is actually a very suitable comparison. Background checks on porn producers would violate their first amendment rights. Background checks on private weapons sales violates the second amendment rights.
There are many people who would definitely argue that porn harms everyone who comes in contact with it. That would make the producer completely culpable in that harm.
Again, why is one part of the bill of rights more important to you than another? You ducked that question just like you accuse others of doing.
There is absolutely no ambiguity in the phrase "shall not be infringed".
